Happy twittermas everybody!

Or is it Xmas nowadays?

I’d much rather say Happy Christmas,

in lieu of a modern phrase.

I mean, Christmas has a meaning,

of which some are unaware;

and others love their screening,

and rarely ever care.

It’s not all gifts and glitter;

not the drink nor wrapping paper;

not Facebook friends nor twitter,

nor a passing childhood caper.

It is a magic from the past,

a story worth being told;

always going to last,

even when we’re old.
